Tender Details
Tender Description
The project includes a 200MW PV array with an integration of 120MWh battery system and extra 95MWh network stability battery. This project brings the most advanced solar PV power generation and storage technology to South Australia. The project will deliver energy security, carbon reduction and hundreds of local jobs. The 200 Mega Watt Ground Mounted Array will be connected to Australian National Grid via a 275,000-volt transmission line.
The project is expected to generate (150) jobs in the development phase, (350) regional jobs in the two year construction phase and (25) regional jobs for the 25 year plus 25-year life of the facility supporting field operations and maintenance activities.
The development includes the establishment of two community funds with the traditional owners the Ngadjuri people and the Regional Goyder Council for sports, education and the Arts. A conservation park for endangered species research and protection is also planned. This is an opportunity for job creation in regional communities whilst participating in the step change to a cleaner world eliminating millions of tonnes of pollutants emitted through conventional coal and gas fired electricity generation.
